I need to regear to 4.88's. What should I do?

A good start would be for us to trade sliders. I'm just saying.

Stay far FAR away from Thrash diff. I would highly suggest to mail the diffs off to ZUK in Arizona.

How bad was the shipping cost on that?

I want to say it was just under $100 each way for both but I'll try and find my recipts.

how's that diff holding up Jen?? i hear Ben-jam'n's diff shop does good work but sometimes has to make compromises to get broke down trucks outta the drive way.

You can ship them to Zuk if you want to wait like a year to get your diffs back. If you want someone to do them professionally talk to greg at 4wdfactory.com He is located up around the hutto/RR area.

I sent my diffs to ZUK and it took less than two weeks total. Well worth the trouble of packing and waiting. The issue with diffs is that there is no way to ensure a correct setup. Why take a chance on a half ass job?? We've all been there when some "ace" mechanic did shotty work and had to go back and re-do it. I've re-done TWO diffs for that exact reason, not including my two that Thrash botched.

When did you have zuk do them? A friend of mine talked to him and he said that he is extremely backed up. But seriously, Greg will do them right. His shop consist of dana 60 and toyota axles laying in piles.

Well I coaxed him into working mine before his "seanson" started, I think it was September-ish. Here's the link: gear install

I had also mentioned The Gearguy on hwy 281 in Spring Branch, which I was refered to by an Austin LSLC member.

Ben-jam'n's Diff shop does excellent work!!!! I think you should start charging!

The rear weighs about 70#. Fedex ground would be about 32$ for the rear and a little less for the front (it's a little lighter I think), each way.

Russ Baer at BaerTrax in Dallas also does excellent gear work with quick turn-around. He came highly recommended to me by TTR members. I had him set up new 4.56 gears in my FJC and was very pleased with the results.

Baertrax Offroad Specialist Tie Rods, Offroad Suspension, Drivetrains, Gear Changes, Custom Cages, Steering, and more!

A little closer than AZ for you anyway.

Brutal Off-Road up in Lake Hills also does them. Not sure on the turn around, but James does great work.
